1. Hankook Kinergy ST (H735) - Best All-Season tire
We’re going to kick this list off with a great all-season tire from Hankook, the Kinergy ST (H735). For some time now, just about everything in the Hankook product line has been making a pretty good impression on us at SimpleTire, and the Kinergy ST (H735) is no exception. The Kinergy ST (H735) gets a composite SimpleScore of 8.6 overall, with scores of 8.5 for traction, 9.0 for longevity, and 8.3 for handling, so let’s unpack that a little. The Kinergy ST uses an advanced tread formulation and truly durable internal construction (H735) for great wear properties, along with long life and high-speed stability. The Kinergy ST (H735) is covered with a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. Handling properties with the Kinergy ST are stable and predictable, with tie bars that link groove structures and tread blocks together to enhance the tread’s rigidity and resist the G-forces and inertia of cornering. A solid center rib is designed for great straight-line road manners on the highway as well as a steering response that’s crisp and direct. There’s also a dense network of sipes that multiply traction with hundreds of sharp biting edges as well as wide circumferential grooves and lateral grooves that channel standing water away and through the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning and aid with year-round grip. The Kinergy ST (H735)’s tread pattern is also randomized and computer-tuned to help keep road noise to a minimum for a quiet and comfortable ride. Select sizes of the Kinergy ST (H735) are also available with great-looking raised white letter sidewall, for a period-correct appearance on your muscle car or vintage ride.
2. Westlake RP18 - Great All-Season tire
Next up we’ve got the Westlake RP18, a great value in an all-season tire that can beat expectations and punch far above its weight class when it comes to performance and overall bang for the buck. Wear properties with the Westlake RP18 are very good; Westlake backs the RP18 with a 45,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, and we took notes and gave this tire a SimpleScore of 8.2 for longevity. We also need to mention the dependable year-round traction of the RP18, thanks to its dense network of sipes and an all-season tread pattern that includes circumferential grooves and angled/lateral grooves. Taking that all into account, we give the RP18 a SimpleScore of 8.1 for traction. Steering response, cornering, braking, and road manners are all immediate and crisp thanks to that tread design, along with a notched shoulder that helps with cornering dynamics and a contact patch that’s optimized to keep the most rubber in contact with the road at all times. SimpleScore for handling: 8.3. The Westlake RP18 gets an overall SimpleScore average of 8.6.

Despite the lower price point, the Kenda Kenetica is designed with a durable tread compound and internal construction, and Kenda covers the Kenetica (KR217) with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty – exceptional coverage for a tire that’s this affordable. The random variable pitch tread design helps cancel certain frequencies and resonances for a quiet and comfortable ride, and the all-season tread design delivers both dependable traction and handling that’s capable and secure.

The tread pattern of the EcoPro A/S is designed with circumferential grooves that sweep water away from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning and a dense sipe pattern with a unique combination of various sipe sizes for a SimpleScore of 7.3 for traction.
